United Presbyterian Church of Peoria, IL

United Presbyterian Church is a family of Jesus Christ and as a family we do the best we can to look after each other. We are all called to be ministers in some form and so we serve each other by serving on committees, serving as Elders or Deacons, or just finding creative ways to show compassion, concern, and care.

Member Care

Members of United Presbyterian Church are nurtured by many different groups. Of utmost importance is our deacon ministry. Each member is assigned a deacon who makes contacts ideally once a month with that member, whether that be in person, a celebratory card, information of upcoming church events, or a visit when they are ill.

Shawl Ministry

Prayer Shawls are made and distributed to those needing a little extra tender loving care. Crafted with prayer and knitting, all are a work of art. Patterns for the shawl may be picked up in the church office. Some shawls are on display in the Fellowship Hall.
